WORD OF THE DAY
tabassum
- तबस्सुम
- تبسم
means
smile, smiling softly, a gentle smile, a silent smile that barely parts the lips and makes no sound
dekhne vaalo tabassum ko karam mat samjho
unheñ to dekhne vāloñ pe hañsī aatī hai
do not deem her smile to be a sign of grace
she mocks those poor souls who've looked upon her face
dekhne walo tabassum ko karam mat samjho
unhen to dekhne walon pe hansi aati hai
do not deem her smile to be a sign of grace
she mocks those poor souls who've looked upon her face
from the Ghazal "ahl-e-ulfat ke hawalon pe hansi aati hai" by Sudarshan Faakir
